Answer this question in your notebook: What is the difference between an element and a compound? Reminder: Isotopes Lab due Friday
2
ELEMENTS, COMPOUNDS, AND MIXTURES
3
An element is a substance composed of a single kind of atom
4
Example: Aluminum
5
- Atoms are the basic particles
of an element. Different elements have different properties because their atoms are different
6
When atoms combine they form a chemical bond, a force or attraction between two atoms.
In most cases, atoms combine to form larger particles called molecules.
7
Example: A molecule of water consists of an oxygen atom chemically combined to two hydrogen atoms.
8
- Compound: 2 or more elements chemically combined in a set ratio
9
A compound may be represented by a chemical formula, which shows the elements in the compound and the ratio of the atoms. Example: Carbon Dioxide
10
When elements are chemically combined, they form compounds having properties that are different from those of the uncombined elements!
11
Example: A snail’s shell is composed of calcium, carbon, and oxygen
12
Number of Elements H2O Made of two different elements
Example: H2O Made of two different elements Hydrogen, Oxygen C6H12O6 How many different elements? Three! Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen
13
The subscript is the number written to the right of a chemical symbol and slightly below it.
